Glorious GreeceTrip can be divided into two parts

Mainlands Tour in Greece

Islands Tour

Top islands of Greece which are recommended on Glorious Greece Trip-

How to go to Islands from international airports – Many cruises, ships and local airplanes takes you there. We took Ryan Air, Blue Star Ferry and Super Jet for commuting to islands. Also, people hire Luxury Charters to commute between the Greek Islands. Know about more on Sailing Greece.

We covered Santorini, Mykonos, and Cypros. Beautiful islands and recommended stay is 2 nights each on each island for enjoying beaches and town sidewalk with sunsets and exploring each and every corner of the island.

My itinerary for Glorious Greece trip –

The most famous island of Greece in the whole world because it is set amidst indigo colored Aegean Sea on volcanic rocks. As it is hilly so the houses are nicely patterned up and down forming a beautiful landscape. All the white houses have a view of blue waters and hills as they are on top of rocks. Sunset from Santorini is amazing.

Take Rent a Car for roaming around on whole island. Things to see in Santorini – Old churches with blue domes, Red Beach, Black Beach, Oia(famous for sunsets) town, Fira town(more lively area),Akrotiri(prehistoric sites and beautiful drive way).

Here in Mykonos also rent a car to roam around the city. Go to beaches and parking is not an issue as on the islands you can park your on the side of a road because the population is very less here. Also, you can rent quad bikes or motorbikes to move around.

Attractions to visit in Mykonos – Little Venice, Windmills, Waking in the town(must)

There are many archaeological sites, beaches, ports, modern city, the Olympic stadium, Parliament building, shopping centers, bars, Greek cafes, Palaka(old style shopping) to be visited. Many Hop on Hop Off buses runs in the city which is a great option and Athens can be covered in 2 days. Stay near Acropolis for old-style city life and if a modern style of staying then stay near Parliament or University area.

Delphi – On the Greek mainland, Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built on the lower slopes of Mount Parnassus, overlooking a dramatic ravine, the site was sacred to the ancients, who came here on pilgrimages to worship Apollo (god of light, prophecy, music, and healing) and to ask advice from the mythical Oracle. It is made up of the crumbling ruins of numerous temples, a theater, and stadium, dating from between the 8th century BC and the 2nd century AD. Nearby, stands the Delphi Museum Archaeological Museum, displaying an impressive collection of finds from the site. Delphi lies 180 kilometers northwest of Athens. While going to Delphi from Athens via Archova beautiful drive is there because of hilly drive. Mediterranean landscape with agriculture on hilly slopes with snow clad peaks in between. Picturesque and must visit drive way.

Meteora – One of the most beautiful place to see in Greece has to be the Thessaly Plain where rocky outcrops are capped by the centuries-old monasteries of Meteora. On the UNESCO World Heritage list, six of the monasteries are open to the public. You need to climb up several stone steps carved into the rocks to reach each monastery, and inside, you’ll find flickering candles, religious icons, frescoes, and burning incense. Opening hours vary, and to see all six monasteries, you need to spend at least one day in the area. The nearest town is Kalambaka for night stay. From Delphi go to Meteora have a night stay and on next day see all monasteries and return back to Athens which is a 4 to 5 hours drive.

Dance and Music – Enjoy Greek dance and music in an old tavern styled Greek restaurant with Greek cuisine.

Most famous International Airport – Athens(Capital of Greece).

Such a lovely and detailed article! I’m definitely saving it up for reference if I ever plan on visiting Greece soon! I like how u differentiated what many of the islands are known for and the pictures of course are stunning! 🙂 xo

There are so many places to visit in Greece, and your photos totally capture them! We’ve been to Athens, which was not my favorite, and Santorini, where I’d love to spend a summer. That blue and white is breathtaking.

I have not been to Greece yet. Your post makes me feel that Greece is the best getaway destination. There are so many things to do and see there. I do love going to the beach. I think Greece has a lot of mesmerizing beaches. Your painting looks nice. It is a good piece of remembrance that you can share with your loved ones.

Everything about Greece looks so beautiful! Especially the water, it’s such a striking shade of blue. I’d love to visit Crete and eat lots of feta! Santorini has been on my list for a long time too, such a spectacular view with all those beautiful white buildings against the blue. Glorious indeed!

Greece is one of those places that I’ve been literally DYING to get to, but schedules and ticket prices haven’t really cooperated with me yet. My initial reaction to your opening line of “Why Greece” was “why not?” There are so many amazing things to experience, taste, smell, see…it’s really like one of those places that you have to try really hard to not have a good time!

We visited Athens, Mykonos and Santorini on a cruise a couple of years ago and it was a great way to get an overview and know where we’d like to return. I thought I’d love Santorini, but we ended up enjoying Mykonos much better!

Greece needs no introduction but I loved these images. The sheer blue and white patterns on the Mediterranean shores look too beautiful to be true. And it has so much history and civilization attached to it that it becomes hard to resist.

Greece is such a beautiful country with beautiful places, people and delicious food. I visited Greece last year and love it totally. We went to Mykonos, Santorini, Athen, Delphi and Meteora. Love the abundance of history they have. This post brought back so many memories from our trip.

What a great guide to greece- I loved your Delphi trip guide, it gave me so much new insight into the area! There is so much that visitors may miss because they are only going to the most popular places. I’d love to see all of the greek islands on your list, as well as some of the tiny and uninhabited ones. Can’t wait to see more of your travels!

Greece is definitely a bucket list destination for me, as I’m sure with most people! But you shown me that there is more to Greece than Athens, Santorini or Mykonos. I would love to visit Meteora and Delphi because of those amazing historical sites.

Greece is a beautiful country and one I will be visiting soon so thanks for sharing this. Has helped me with things to do and how. The post gives details and the visuals compliments the story. I am looking forward to Athens and it’s history and the beaches of Santorini. Thanks fir sharing
